Taste Test
Broadcast Date:  1/22/22

January is National Soup Month and for a good reason.  There's nothing better on a cold, cloudy, rainy (or snowy) night than a bowl of hot chicken noodle soup.  Elizabeth's website is filled with soup recipes, but if you don't have time to make it yourself, we put six different brands to the test.  Turns out there is a clear winner!  

At a time when you can't find lunchmeat on the grocery shelves, the USDA (and Tom Vilsack) just announced a deal that sends American pork to India. Elizabeth has troubling news from China that could prompt yet another round of lockdowns and additional food shortages. Elizabeth has a possible explanation and you're not gonna like it. Restaurant workers speak out about staff sicknesses and how those QR code systems are costing them tip money. You'll hear from jabbed pilots who are experiencing career-ending medical illnesses. Elizabeth takes us to a small town in Florida that's been called "The Spiritualist Capital of the World" and you'll hear the story of a woman whose vacation was ruined by a cruise company's hard line cancellation policy.

A bit of a departure this week.  Instead of hearing from disgruntled airline passengers (and there are a lot of them) you'll hear from jabbed pilots who are experiencing career-ending medical illnesses.

Deal of the Week
Broadcast Date:  1/15/22

During this cold, wet winter, Elizabeth was hoping to share a "deal of the week" involving Puerto Rico, then those mandates reared their ugly heads.  You'll also hear how those PCR tests were never intended to diagnose Covid 19.

Elizabeth takes us to a small town in Florida that's been called "The Spiritualist Capital of the World."  Just as Gibsonton, Florida became the winter home for circus workers, Casadaga has a long history tied to mediums, spiritualists, healers and teachers.

Things That Make You Go HMMMM
Broadcast Date:  1/15/22

The USDA (and Tom Vilsack) just announced a deal that sends American pork to INDIA.  Think about that for a moment.  At a time when you can't find lunchmeat on the grocery shelves, American pork is being sent to a country, that for religious reasons, doesn't generally consume pork!  Elizabeth has a possible explanation and you're not gonna like it.
